    Default Finding time.

    Next semester I'll be living off-campus, so therefore I can't throw student loans and scholarships at housing payments, and I've been trying to look for a job.

    The thing is, I will be a full-time student trying to work a part-time job. Factor in study and sleep, do I have any time left to have fun and enjoy myself? Honestly I don't find any reason to do anything if my entire life all of a sudden became 100% work and study.

    My second sister is doing it in full gear. Both Full time. ._.

    School on daylight, work at night. Sleep whenever possible. Also, cramming every possible schedule. Thankfully, it's temporary till the day it's right.

    Depends on the job. 50/50 That I like my job or not.

    7 Days(One week) - 168
    Full time job - 40 hours a week
    Full time school - Roughly 40 hours a week? (Probably 50 with homework bro!)
    Sleeping - 8 hours a day (If you're a ***, real men sleep 4)
    That leaves you 22 hours a week to do what you want.

    I find that 10 hours a week is probably a lot for homework, but it depends on your classes. No idea what your courses take in actual time, even a full courseload of like 12 credits probably isn't 40 hours, I believe they aim for the 40 hours to include homework kinda roughly, so it's probably 30+10 for homework=40, so you'd get 32 hours spare in a week.

    My mom did it for a while, it's doable. I did part time (30 hours) and full time school for a while and I found it to be not CRAZY, but I also did poorly in the classes and needed much more time to study, but my problem wasn't the lack of time, but the lack of time management, as I spent my time on H-S, /v/, and other **** all over the net, playing DS, Wii, at that point LaTale iirc, talkin' on skype/msn. Basically I wasted a good 50-80 hours a week just doing general 'internet guy' stuff that I shouldn't have been doing.

    If you have better skills than me when it comes to time management, you can probably totally handle this and junk.
    Part-time job is 20-30 hours (usually 20) giving you another 20 hours for stuff!

    Honestly I don't find any reason to do anything if my entire life all of a sudden became 100% work and study.
    Doesn't need to be, but if it does become that, is it so bad if it means that within a few years you'll be able to play a lot more than you would if you hadn't done all the working and studying? I mean think of it this way, you have 2 selves when experiencing something. The 'in the moment' self and the 'looking back on ****' self. This **** might be crazy 'now', but how bad will it be looking back? Fun is the same way really, how fun was that **** looking back? How fun was it to do? I can say that looking back the nostalgia factor of most fun things I've done online are only there with friends, if there were no friends (solo MMO lolfail) I have none, and the only fun (which there was little) was the experiencing self. The same works with pain, maybe you have the flu and are out for a week, it's probably bad then AND bad to think back on, but if you get a shot or some other ****, it might hurt for a second but once it passes? It was nothing, not even memorable.
    So how bad will those classes be at the time? Probably a ****load of work, but looking back on it and considering all that came with it? Probably not so bad.

    pyrofyr obviously doesn't understand the importance of sleep.

    "When you go to college, you can take two paths:
    Study and Sleep
    or
    Study and Socialize"
    Well isn't that interesting?
    What's this? You bothered to highlight my sig?You're very bored then, aren't you? Ha. Ha. Ha.

    Thanks for the numbers pyrofyr, all I can do is hope that my scheduling doesn't have 1-hour holes between everything.

    Again kag, if you don't have anything to post, get the **** out of my thread.

    I'm offended, i did post something worthwhile. If you actually just read what i posted... God i would like to call you names you piece of **** but in result this post would get deleted. So whatever. If you don't accept advice, don't bother trying. And why did you post in the first place, just complaining i bet. This could've easily gone to Empty House. You could have been ranting, no one would care.

    You tell me to find a way to socialize, study, and sleep.

    This whole thread is asking people how I should manage the time for those things.

    You're telling me to do what I'm asking help on in this thread without actually giving help on it.
    Butts.
